Community Tasting Notes 25

  March 22, 2024 - A backfilled bottle from a well known retailer and upon cutting the capsule, found a thin layer of mold / mildew on top of the cork. Nothing wrong once pulled, however. A bit of rubber funk at first and the wine seemed quite shut. Took 60-90 minutes to coax some fruit out and it was a pleasant nose. Fleeting exotic strawberry and roses. Palate however, was thin and mineral in the way that village level chambolle can be. The nose also felt like I was getting a free trial to what mugnier can actually pull off. Overall this was just really bad QPR hence why on my scale, it's a won't repurchase. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a vintage thing that's holding it back
  
  Nose: 89-91 (it hit a high for about 5 seconds)
  Palate: 89

  December 26, 2022 - Finally popped this open on Christmas day with my girlfriend and drank over 4 hours. Faded light ruby, bricking on the edges. First 30-45 minutes after opening, there was a "new sneakers" funk on the nose. After it blew off, the nose revealed beautiful raspberries, strawberries, cherries, flowers and leather. On the palate, this was light bodied and easy drinking. Stewed raspberries, tart cherries, with some tangy acidity finishing it out. Tannins were fully resolved, so it was a very light mouth feel. Like a cru Beaujolais' wiser, more refined older brother. As the wine warmed, the acidity seemed to stand out a bit more (around the 90 minute mark). Then at the 2-2.5 hour mark, the wine began to sing as all the elements started to really meld well together. Baked Cherry pie on the nose. Sour cherry, fresh raspberries, pie crust and fall baking spices on the palate. Acidity tamed and integrated perfectly. If you like light bodied wines, I can't imagine anything being much better than this. Best Burgundy I've had to date. Wow.

  March 29, 2021 - Not much density, but the cherry, strawberry and raspberries are refined, pure and elegant. Sweet, floral, fresh and ready to go.

  August 5, 2020 - This is purely delightful stuff... essence of Chambolle really for me; pale garnet with a nose that initially has a bit of sanguine/gamy notes and then opens to reveal bright red cherry, red currant, strawberry, floral notes, crushed stone. The palate is elegance defined, walking the line with good density of flavor yet feeling weightless. Sure wish these weren't so pricey now...

  March 9, 2020 - So attractive and ready immediately after popping the cork. After a week of Mugnier Musignys (5 vintages?), this stood up. Thinner, less weighty but equally enjoyable. Luscious red fruit and lightest palate. 93
